Report Card

Sam came home Friday looking very forlorn. It took me a few minutes to get out of him what was making him so sad. He finally handed me his report card. It was just fine as I had expected it to be. I asked him why he was scared to give it to me. He said he was upset with all of the s's and e's. He had really wanted a's. It was so cute, funny, and a little sad. I showed him the "explanation of grades" :E-exceedes expectations, S-satisfactory. He was very relieved. His teacher gets an N (needs improvement) however, for not explaining the grading system to these poor second graders. Oh well, no permanent damage done. I overheard Sam telling Mike that night that today's bus ride home was the lomgest of his life. Poor little guy. He's all E's in my book.
